An urgent depilation for here please!!!
An insect coleopteron of approximately 12mm. that regrettably I could not identify up to now with the characteristic of having the entirety of the body full with very long hair, including their elytra.
The elytra serves as protection for the posterior wings that are immediately under and that they are used to execute the flight.
In some cases the elytra are united, stopping the insect without capacity to fly.
They also have a balance function during the flight.
In the case of this species, they are very flying moving of flower in flower with enough speed, like you can view in Workshop that I include where an specimen begins the unfolding of your wings.
Beetles are the most diverse group of insects. Their order, Coleoptera (meaning "sheathed wing"), has more described species in it than in any other order in the animal kingdom.
Forty percent of all described insect species are beetles (about 350,000 species), and new species are regularly discovered.
Estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at between 5 and 8 million
These species present a great diversity among them, among which the phytophagous that can form plagues.
The larvae cause most of the agricultural and forest damages.
I will wait the collaboration of TN friends to be able to identify the likeable protagonist of this scene.
I hope you like it J
